401 (not) OK: The other things you said ‘Yes’ to when you started your qualified plan
For more than a generation, the 401k (and its cousins – the 403b, 457, SEP, SIMPLE, and IRA) have grown to the primary vehicles Americans use to accumulate wealth for retirement. But there’s more to these so-called ‘qualified’ plans than the simple sound-bites offered up by their Wall Street advocates. In his second ‘expose-style’ book
For more than a generation, the 401k (and its cousins – the 403b, 457, SEP, SIMPLE, and IRA) have grown to the primary vehicles Americans use to accumulate wealth for retirement. But there’s more to these so-called ‘qualified’ plans than the simple sound-bites offered up by their Wall Street advocates. In his second ‘expose-style’ book (Rigged, 2014), James Beattey exposes the 16 things owners of these plans agreed to when they signed up for the 401k – things that would have dissuaded most from ever starting them in the first place had they been fully disclosed. In 401 (Not) OK, you’ll learn what they are – and what you can do about them as Beattey turns complex, boring financial topics into simple, quick-hitting, entertaining stories that are sure to both inform and provoke.
Really great information to learn from reading this book Really great information to learn from reading this book!Easy read with valuable knowledge shared.Wish I would have known the lessons taught in this book when I was initially investing in my retirement, rather than now when I am trying to retire!
401 Not Ok – Is the truth! Great book that includes lots of information that most of us did not know. I wish I’d had this information years ago when I started my 401k.
Easy, but great read Easy, but great read! Very revealing on what I was sold! Lots of information is precise, quick chapters. Anyone who has or is considering any qualified account needs to read this book. Highly recommend it
